Cypher

In the ring with the king,

Call it a lion's pride to fight against

A pride of lions in a den on the

Lion's time.

I'm the lion this time.

Life could be a paradise

If you get the right pair of dice.

If not, you're on a wager minus that

Of a failed parlay.

Like every bridge that has burned is

A trophy earned for me because I don't need

A gun to kill your soul.

Lately, my phone has been ringing off the hook.

I've been ignoring everybody,

I don't owe you nothing, not even a second look.

It's no fun when my presence is missed.

It takes me going ghost for them to wake

And appreciate the gift that is the heart of one

Who tries to make amends but friends are

Hard to come by so I end up alone in the end.

This rhyming is off a bit, though I'm not happy

With the skill shown, I hope they are getting

The message.

Been backstabbed so much, I started walking

Backwards to my destination.

I show all love, but this hatred lay here adjacent.

I wanted to kill the dreams from within,

But I'm stuck in a matrix.

I shell up as a Fail-Safe.

I climb mountains as a hobby.

I out write any of your favorites.

I married Sonia in Vegas.

I keep a cross near me because I've become

Satan's favorite.

An angel with demonic ways.

One hand on a Bible,

The other on a rifle.

I have no energy for bulllshit.

You'll cry at the pulpit when the pastor

Is giving a eulogy

Because you'll all see that I put everybody

Before me and all y'all did was let me know that

I wasn't appreciated.
